No Chelsea reunion for Gattuso and Ancelotti as Milan fear stars will leave

The Rossoneri fans are fearing an exodus of players after Kaka's big-money move to Real Madrid earlier this week.

World Cup-winning Italy midfielder Gattuso has been linked with a move to Chelsea, where former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has taken the reins.

But his agent, Andrea D'Amico, has played down such talk.

He said: 'I have never said that Gattuso will leave. There could be offers for him by clubs because who wouldn't want a player like Gattuso?

'Rino (Gattuso) was saddened to see Ancelotti leave because he has a special relationship with him.

'(But) his mission is at Milan and he wants to stay.'

Gattuso, who missed most of the season with a knee injury, is currently on international duty with Italy in South Africa, preparing for the Confederations Cup.
